This edition is packed with wonderful new discoveries including a rare, intimate look inside the working studio of Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein from American photographer Laurie Lambrecht; extraordinary glass negative portraits from 30s Poland by Stefania Gurdowa (which have provided the material for our favorite photobook of the year so far: Negatives are to be Stored); and Andrzej Kramarz’s innovative images of the eclectic collections and bizarre jumbles of objects he discovered over two-and-a-half years photographing flea markets in Krakow.
We’re also featuring some recent work from Roger Ballen, who has published a beautiful and disturbing new photobook, Boarding House (click here for an exclusive audio interview with the artist), and artful documentation of decades of car crashes by former Swiss police photographer Arnold Odermatt. There’s coverage of Czech artist Vladimir Zidlicky’s 30-year retrospective — an important survey of the artist’s surreal, experimental and abstract nude photography. And Laura Domela’s fun, personal portraits of real-life characters (misfits, pioneers, entrepreneurs, artists, troublemakers) from a small gold mining town in Alaska.
